Fada NA
#6

It's good to know that I got a steal with this radio. It does look like there is nothing major wrong with this set. I pulled the chassis today and managed to get that one control clean and moving like it should and, other than the speaker being loose due to deteriorated rubber washers, didn't see any issues. I had seen some rubber coated wires on the top of the chassis and feared a rubber wire nightmare under the chassis. Luckily, that isn't the case. It is a bit cramped under there though and I see that some caps will have to be removed before even replacing the power cord. Still, I've seen way worse and it appears to be mostly unmolested under the chassis. Only mistake I made was not testing the tubes while the radio was apart. Hopefully I can get them out later.

No matter where you go, there you are.
